Preparation of a complete master budget

The management of Zigby Manufacturing prepared the following estimated balance sheet for March, 2015:

To prepare a master budget for April, May, and June of 2015, management gathers the following information:

• Sales for March total 20,500 units. Forecasted sales in units are as follows: April, 20,500; May, 19,500; June, 20,000; and July, 20,500. Sales of 240,000 units are forecasted for the entire year. The product's selling price is $23.85 per unit and its total product cost is $19.85 per unit

• Company policy calls for a given month's ending raw materials inventory to equal 50% of the next month's materials requirements. The March 31 raw materials inventory is 4,925 units, which complies with the policy. The expected June 30 ending raw materials inventory is 4,000 units. Raw materials cost $20 per unit. Each finished unit requires 0.50 units of raw materials.

• Company policy calls for a given month's ending finished goods inventory to equal 80% of the next month's expected unit sales. The March 31 finished goods inventory is 16,400 units, which complies with the policy.

• Each finished unit requires 0.50 hours of direct labor at a rate of $15 per hour.

• Overhead is allocated based on direct labor hours. The predetermined variable overhead rate is $2.70 per direct labor hour. Depreciation of $20,000 per month is treated as fixed factory overhead.

• Sales representatives' commissions are 8% of sales and are paid in the month of the sales. The sales manager's monthly salary is $3,000.

• Monthly general and administrative expenses include $12,000 administrative salaries and 0.9% monthly interest on the long-term note payable.

• The company expects 30% of sales to be for cash and the remaining 70% on credit. Receivables are collected in full in the month following the sale (none is collected in the month of the sale).

• All raw materials purchases are on credit, and no payables arise from any other transactions. One month's raw materials purchases are fully paid in the next month.

• The minimum ending cash balance for all months is $40,000. If necessary, the company borrows enough cash using a short-term note to reach the minimum. Short-term notes require an interest payment of 1% at each month-end (before any repayment). If the ending cash balance exceeds the minimum, the excess will be applied to repaying the short-term notes payable balance.

• Dividends of $10,000 are to be declared and paid in May.

• No cash payments for income taxes are to be made during the second calendar quarter. Income tax will be assessed at 35% in the quarter and paid in the third calendar quarter.

• Equipment purchases of $130,000 are budgeted for the last day of June.

Required

Prepare the following budgets and other financial information as required. All budgets and other financial information should be prepared for the second calendar quarter, except as otherwise noted below.

19-23 Quality improvement, relevant costs, relevant revenues. AquaPro produces water purifiers for the household. Business is good but Derek, the manager, has noticed that customers complain because they find leakages in the plastic nozzles used. AquaPro provides a warranty for each machine and charges $115 for each of them. AquaPro installed 5,000 machines last month and 20% of them have experienced this leakage problem. Each repair costs $35 for the company. Derek believes that the problem can be eliminated by adding an extra check valve (costing $2.5/ma- chine). This will reduce the number of purifiers produced every month by a 100 (in order to accommodate the price of the extra check value), but will lower the number of the machines experiencing a leakage from 20% to 5%. 1. Do you think that AquaPro should implement Derek’s idea? Answer with calculations. 2. What are the nonfinancial and qualitative factors that AquaPro may consider in deciding whether to implement the new design?

Question) On 1 July 2020, Tierny issues 5,000 convertible notes to enable construction of a facility to train security guards. The notes have a three year term and are issued at par with a FV of $10,000 per note, giving total proceeds at the date of issue of $50 million. The notes pay a coupon of 6% p.a. annually in arrears (payable 30/6). The holder of each note has the option to convert the note into 5,000 ordinary shares of Tierney Ltd at the end of 3 years.

When the notes are issued, the market interest rate for similar debt (similar term, similar credit status of issuer and similar cash flows) without conversion options is 9% p.a.

Required:

Prepare the journal entries for Tierney to record this transaction on:

1) 1 July 2020 when the convertible note is issued
